Course Description

Your words have a huge impact on your sales.

If you use the right words that speak to your audience you can increase your sales by 300%. If you use the wrong words, you can lose people that would have been a great fit for your product or service.

.

You've probably spent many hours making sure your product or service is high quality and useful to your customers. You may have made a Udemy course, an Ebook, or your own website.

.

But when it comes to selling your product, how long did you spend writing the product description?

.

Your product description determines if your reader buys.

When a reader sees your product for the first time they have no idea how great it is. They don't know how many hours you spent working hard to create it.

.

They only know one thing: what you have chosen to communicate with them. With this in mind your words need to work extra hard because many potential customers are conditioned to believe online products are a scam.

.

You only need to learn a few Copywriting principles.

The good news is, if your goal is to increase sales of your product you don't have to learn a lot about copywriting. In fact you shouldn't. Instead it is in your best interest to learn the most important principles and nothing more.

.

These copywriting principles have been proven time and time again to deeply influence readers and persuade them to buy.

.

You can multiply your sales even if you're not a natural writer.

If you don't consider yourself to be a good writer, don't worry. Your reader doesn't care how good of a writer you are. They only care about one thing: can you solve their problem?

.

You won't be bored by useless information.

By taking this course you will get enough knowledge to remarkably increase your sales and nothing more. You already have a lot on your mind; you don't want to add any unnecessary information.

.

If you are looking to become a copywriting expert this course is not for you. For your purpose of increasing sales, learning the more advanced details of copywriting is a waste of time.

.

If you want to become a freelance copywriter this course is also not for you. This course does not include any of the technical information on how to obtain clients or create a proposal.

.

This course is for anyone that wants to increase his or her sales.

Instructor Biography

My background as an online instructor started when I was 13 years old. At the time I was playing an online video game called Runescape. One day I wrote a guide on how to make money in that game, sold it on eBay and made a couple hundred dollars. Ever since then I have been hooked to starting random online business ideas.

Then fast forward until I was a sophomore at Penn State University. At that point one of my random business ideas was importing men’s magnetic therapy bracelets from China and selling them on eBay.

I Created My First Online Course Out of Boredom

During one rainy day in February I was bored and decided to create a course that taught people how to import products from China and sell them on eBay. I created that free course in one day and went to bed. When I woke up I had 50 new emails, each telling me that a new student had enrolled in my course. I couldn’t believe it, I was so excited and happy!

That first course I created ended up getting 10,000 students in it. Soon after creating that course I made my first paid course which went into greater detail about how to import products from China. I marketed it by telling everyone in my free course that if they wanted to learn more about this subject they could spend $20 and you get lifetime access to it.

Making $100+ Dollars from My First Paid Course Was an Incredible Feeling

I remember making the first couple hundred dollars off that course. It’s an incredible feeling. It feels completely different than working at a job and having someone pay you on a paycheck. In a weird kind of way, it really felt like I had earned this. And since that point I have been absolutely hooked.

I have created online courses in a bunch of different subjects such as copywriting, lean startup philosophy and how to become an authority. I can’t see myself stopping anytime soon. At this point I have over 40,000 students enrolled in my courses.

A Conversation with My Mom Inspired Me

After two years of creating online courses my Mom called me and told me she really wants to create her own online course but doesn’t know how to get started. I realized there was 10 different places I could send her that would each teach her one thing that she has to know, but there wasn’t a single place where I could say, go here and you’ll learn how to create your own online course.

I knew that my Mom, not being the most tech savvy person in the world, wouldn’t want to spend all her time trying to figure out how to connect the pieces from these ten different websites and set up all the technical stuff. She just wanted to share what she knows, her expertise, and create an online course.

I know how intimidating it is. I had to figure all this technical stuff out in the beginning and it was really complicated. But the thing is, it doesn’t have to be. In hindsight I realized if someone had just shared with me the right things to do, I would have saved an incredible amount of time, money and frustration.

Going from No-Experience to Creating & Marketing Your First Course

This is why I’ve decided to take on that project. I’m creating a collection of courses with the goal of taking someone that has no-experience teaching online courses all the way to creating and marketing their first online course.

I’m going to walk you through every single step of the way. That includes how to outline your course, how to prepare the camera or the recording software and much more. This is by far the most ambitious project I’ve ever taken on but I think it’s going to be the most valuable project for you.

If you want to create an online course and share your expertise with the world, you shouldn’t have to focus on figuring out all the boring and complicated technical stuff.
